116-014 French II:Language I

116-133 French I: Cultural Perspectives and 116-134 French I: Language in Context II or a composite grade of at least H2B in 116-011 Intermediate French C and 116-012 Intermediate French D or equivalent.

This subject builds upon the linguistic abilities developed in first year (post-VCE) French. It aims at consolidating and expanding the four major language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) by intensive practical training. This is achieved through a variety of activities such as: group discussions, formal study of grammar, discourse forms and vocabulary, creative and factual writing, reading, listening to and watching authentic recorded documents. The materials used will broaden students' knowledge of French and Francophone high and popular cultures.

Oral and written work totalling 2000 words, a 20-minute listening comprehension test, and a 1-hour final written test.
